Re: What's the point of having Tmobile Digits if I have to have my phone to access it?
The OP is spot on here. I work in an area where cell phones are simply not allowed. There are many ways to authenticate without having a cell phone glued to your hand. How about a trusted third number (on my desk), or, as the OP states, an email? I am in the same boat as the OP. DIGITSis useless to me. I guess the target audience is the person whom has their cell in their hand, but wants to use DIGITS anyway. BTW, I have asked to have DIGITS removed from my account twice. It always seems to spontaneously come back to my account. This really bothers the control freak in me...57Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: T-Mobile Cylinder, pfSense and Google Wifi
Depends on you use case, but Tailscale solved all of my access problems. :-) I use Jellyfin instead of Plex because of Plex's requirement of being seen by their servers. Although with some tweaking this can be overcome. Let us know what your final solution is. :-)27Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: IP Location issue

Just like a VPN, it can drop you out in a completely different area than your physical location. I am typically "homed" out of Charlotte, NC even though I live in Florence, SC. As such, my Sling TV wants to give me local content for the Charlotte area. Kinda annoying, but this solution is saving me a substantial amount against Spectrum's standard rates… and I was tired of haggling constantly with them for a little $10 discount here and there just to TRY to keep the cost somewhat reasonable. Once in a blue moon I will get shot off somewhere in left field. Sometimes a simple reboot resolves it. Have had to do a full power down for a few minutes a couple times though. While it isn't exactly ideal, it is one of those pros/cons things you sometimes have to deal with if you are trying to save money or otherwise just want to try an alternative option. I miss the ability to open ports properly as well. So far it hasn't been a critical issue, as I am not doing any multiplayer games that REQUIRE it--but if I do get around to that again, I will likely have to go back to Spectrum on their intro rate if TMO doesn't figure out a better way to do dual-stack IP's. syaoran, are you saying this is T-Mobile's design and is inherent to the service? I'm apparently being located to a place 700 miles away. It's sort of humorous to get ads for New Mexico businesses on the Roku, but this could be a more serious problem with some websites and services. In its current implementation, yes. In the future, the modem will need some sort of GPS receiver or something that can identify where the modem is located to tell the routing that it needs an IP address local to the physical location. I can't see this happening anytime soon as it would be somewhat of a combination between a CellSpot V2 and a Modem/Gateway to achieve what it needs to do. Don't they already know which cell tower the can is connect to? Seems like GPS would be unnecessary with the knowledge of all their towers.10Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: WiFi router sugestions that can use different IP address for Home Internet 5G Gateway
I am by no means a networking expert. Just getting that out there… It sounds as if your "hard wired" devices are using static IP addresses rather than DHCP. Is this correct? If not, your devices, when rebooted, should get a new IP from the internal DHCP server in the Gateway, if so, you can do what I did and put a router in between my local network and the Gateway's network. This works great for keeping my network the same as I had it on my previous provider, but has the negative of using a double-NAT, one onthe Gateway and the other in my router. Having said that I do not see any significant differences between connecting to my local network and directly to the Gateway. Hope this helps in some way. :-)23Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: QoS and VLAN settings on High-Speed Internet Gateway
You will probably need to be connected to the router on the LAN it created to log into it. Most routers block WAN access to settings for security purposes. Make sure you are not connected to the T-Mobile Gateway and are connected to the LAN after your Asus router.42Visto0likes0Comentarios
